Kite Flying, 'Romancing the wind‏'
« on: January 24, 2013, 06:05:20 AM »
Good video, especially for those with cabin fever..

The guy flying the 3 kites is in his 80s, and he's from Canada . He comes to the Washington State International Kite Festival every year. His skin is like leather as he normally flies with his shirt off. He is deaf, so when he flies we hold our hands up and wave them for applause. He flies 2 with his hands and the 3rd one is attached to his waist. Enjoy!
The landings should not be missed..
